Achalasia Without a modifier, achalasia usually refers to achalasia of the esophagus, which is also called esophageal achalasia, achalasia cardiae, cardiospasm, and esophageal aperistalsis. Achalasia can happen at various points along the gastrointestinal tract; achalasia of the rectum, for instance, in Hirschsprung's disease.

- The optimal treatment of achalasia includes several options and presents a challenge for most gastroenterologists. It can be treated by botulinum toxin injection, pneumatic dilation, or esophagomyotomy, but the most effective treatment options are graded pneumatic dilation and surgical myotomy [5, 7].

Tricuspid atresia Tricuspid atresia. Definition. Tricuspid atresia is a type of heart disease that is present at birth (congenital heart disease), in which the tricuspid heart valve is missing or abnormally developed. The defect blocks blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

- Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Definition. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart defect that occurs when the ductus arteriosus (the temporary fetal blood vessel that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery) does not close at birth. The ductus arteriosus is a temporary fetal blood vessel that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery before birth.

Patent ductus arteriosus Patent ductus arteriosus. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart problem that is usually noted in the first few weeks or months after birth. It is characterized by a connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery which allows oxygen-rich (red) blood that should go to the body to recirculate through the lungs.

Esophageal dysphagia Both of these features impair the ability of the esophagus to empty contents into the stomach. Patients usually complain of dysphagia to both solids and liquids. Dysphagia to liquids, in particular, is a characteristic of achalasia.

Esophageal atresia Congenital esophageal atresia (EA) represents a failure of the esophagus to develop as a continuous passage. Instead, it ends as a blind pouch. Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) represents an abnormal opening between the trachea and esophagus. EA and TEF can occur separately or together.

Pulmonary Atresia Pulmonary atresia (pronounced PULL-mun-airy ah-TREE-sha) is a very rare birth defect of the pulmonary valve. Sometimes the pulmonary valve is missing completely; other times the valve is blocked. “Pulmonary” refers to the lungs, and “atresia” means missing or blocked.

Aerophagia Aerophagia (var. aerophagy) is a condition of excessive air swallowing, which goes to the stomach.Aerophagia is associated with chewing gum, smoking, drinking carbonated drinks, eating too quickly, CPAP air pressure (if it is too high) and wearing loose dentures.erophagia is a dangerous side effect of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) , commonly used in treatments of respiratory problems and cardiovascular critical care or in surgery when a general anaesthetic is required.

Hypocapnia Hypocapnia, sometimes incorrectly called acapnia, is a state of reduced carbon dioxide in the blood. Hypocapnia usually results from deep or rapid breathing, known as hyperventilation. Even when severe, hypocapnia is normally well tolerated. However, hypocapnia causes cerebral vasoconstriction, leading to cerebral hypoxia and this can cause transient dizziness, visual disturbances, and anxiety.
